I went up to that new brewery like.... ![Thumbs: Thumbs:](https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/Smileys/default/inane_thumbup.gif)
They are apparently talking about putting up the prices to the public. Too many people are getting the booze direct (like yourself BM) and drinking at home, the local landlords are not selling quite as much and are losing interest.
Not a very good idea me thinks, it is too expensive for what it is in the pub. They spent loads getting the operation up and running and are trying to get their munny back too quickly. They need to knock it out cheaply in the short term, get people to become acquainted with their beers then slowly put the price up, then they will have a company that survives in the long term. Pendle Witches Brewery and Monroes both went down the quick munny making road and where are they now? ![rubschin:](https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/Smileys/default/cbs_zz.gif)
Still it is up to them, their business and all that. But the people I know will not pay too much for session beers at nearly double the price while we are in a recession. ![noooo:](https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/Smileys/default/no.gif)
I dunno... everything is more expensive here in Pissouri like...

Two bars in the village are selling the same stuff for €3 and €3.50... I had bad pints in both last week because they hadn't let it settle... they are used to rolling in a boiling hot barrel of Keo, connecting it up to the cooler and serving immediately...
Personally, I'd much rather buy direct at €2.25 a pint and get a great drink because I let it stand for 24 hours... If they put up the direct price I don't think that would force me to go to the pub and have a potentially dodgy pint while surrounded by winging expats and tourists...
I reckon the majority of tourists are happy to drink Keo when they are here and a large number of expats would be willing to pay a premium for a good pint...
